So today and really yesterday's blessing is God's grace and forgiveness when it is extremely undeserved. It is only by the grace of God and Christ's sacrifice that we can even come before the Lord and ask for help and believe that God is listening and sharing in our prayers. It is only by his grace and forgiveness that I can even begin have hope for the future.
Each day it seems I can turn on the news or pick up a news paper or even log on to Twitter or Facebook and have a reason to feel hopeless. There's an earthquake in Hati, war torn countries, and any number of other problems. With all the talk about a hope for a brighter tomorrow and need for change surrounding us today, I've recently been reminded that real hope only comes from God and the only reason we can even begin to hope and partake in his blessings is through his love for us and the grace and forgiveness he extends to us because of his love.
